Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adjusting device according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • Such actuators in particular in the form of rotatable attached crowns exist in a variety of embodiments.
  • Such crowns have two or more axial positions in which various functions can be performed. The switching is done manually by the user of the associated clock. This can be done some applications, such as dive clock applications, where safety-relevant aspects play a role, undesirable or even be disadvantageous.
  • the different positions of such a control unit mostly different Have waterproofing. Again, it is up to the user who To bring the crown into the prescribed position with the best seal before it about a dive, for example, mostly by Screw the crown done.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages and the provision of an actuating unit which the performs the aforementioned operations automatically.
  • the object of the present invention is characterized by the in the characterizing part of claim 1 mentioned features.
  • an adjusting device has an elastic Element on whose biasing force of the size of the end face of the outer Crown body of the device is determined.
  • Figure 1 represents a Cross section of a built-in a watch case adjusting device according to the present invention, wherein this is in its normal position.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-section similar to Figure 1, in which the Actuator on the basis of one against the intended direction of rotation Rotation is axially slightly shifted to lock the clutch enable.
  • Figure 3 is again a cross section analogous to Figure 1, in the adjusting device due to the action of the applied external pressure is axially displaced to allow a disengagement.
  • Figure 4 is an exploded view of the most important parts of a to control a rotary ring use adjusting device together with the rotary ring belonging parts.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of an example of a coupling usable in this context.
  • an adjusting device 1 As can be seen from Figure 1, an adjusting device 1 according to the present invention, a crown body 11,12 on.
  • This one can be from one Be made of pieces or several, firmly interconnected items be joined together, and has an outer crown body 11, which in is substantially cup-shaped, and an inner crown body 12.
  • the latter is essentially cylinder-shaped and has a smaller outer diameter as the inner diameter of the cup-shaped part of the outer crown body 12, in which he is attached, on.
  • the crown body between his Both parts 11,12 an annular cavity 19.
  • a crown bushing 15 encloses the inner crown body 12 and the Clutch 13,14 at least partially, these parts rotatable in the Crown socket are stored.
  • the crown bushing 15 is as usual on a suitable point on the edge of the housing 2 of a clock used, the after outside facing end of the substantially hollow cylindrical crown bushing 15 in the annular cavity 19 between outer - 11 and inner Crown body 12 protrudes.
  • the adjusting device 1 also has an elastic element 16, which engages at least one of the crown body 11, 12 to this in the to bias the axial direction.
  • the crown body 11, 12 together with parts of Clutch 13, 14 is therefore both axially within the crown bushing 15 slidably mounted as well as rotatable.
  • Such a design of a control device allows a automatic, axial position switching of the adjusting device in response to to ensure adequate external pressure.
  • the elastic Element be designed in particular as a coil spring 16, for example between the crown bushing 15 and the inner crown body 12, a part of Clutch 13, 14 spanning, is attached.
  • a spring 16 could but also between the crown bushing 15 and the outer crown body 11 be attached. It is only important that in the axial direction a bias of the Crown body 11,12 relative to the fixed on the watch case 2 crown bushing 15 is generated.
  • This biasing force preferably acts as shown in FIG seen from the housing outward direction, so at normal ambient pressure to a normal position of the actuator too define. At a given, higher external pressure goes the crown 11, 12th the adjusting device automatically into an axially inwardly shifted position, as shown in Figure 3. In principle, it is also a reverse one Constellation conceivable in which an inwardly acting biasing force is given, at low external pressure, an automatic displacement of the crown 11, 12th causes the selected constellation of the desired Application, as will be discussed later.
  • the one or more sealing rings 17 on the outside of outside facing end of the crown bushing 15 and with these cooperating bevel 11a on the inside of the outer Crown body 11 may be attached.
  • This embodiment could be chosen otherwise, for example by the sealing rings 17 on the inside of the outer crown body 11 and the Bevel 11 a are arranged on the outside of the crown bushing 15, or by one of these arrangements between inner crown body 12 and Crown bushing 15 is made while another sealing ring 18 is about located on the outer crown body 11.
  • the coupling 13, 14 may be designed such that they by a axial movement of the crown body 11,12 off and is engaged. In order to takes place at a (pre-) determined external pressure by the automatic, axial Position switching of the actuator an automatic off or Coupling, depending on the specific design of the coupling.
  • the coupling shown in the figures has one on the inside Crown body 12 frictionally mounted, about screwed, so-called Drive screw 13 with teeth 13a at their in the housing interior directed end. It also has a between the drive screw 13 and the crown bushing 15 rotatably mounted gear 14, the one to the teeth 13a of the driving screw 13 directed Breguetsche side toothing 14a (also Breguetahnung or saw toothing called), on.
  • the spring 16, the crown 11, 12 to the outside presses therefore, the teeth 13a of the driving screw 13 are located on the Breguetschen side toothing 14a of the gear 14, so that the clutch 13, 14 is engaged and a rotation of the outer crown body 11 a Rotation of the gear 14 causes.
  • a coupling which in an inventive Stellvorraum can be used, are conceivable and known.
  • the clutch may be interlocked instead of side-toothed, polygonal surfaces are realized; other possibilities are in the state of Technology included.
  • the coupling can also be designed so that instead of the automatic disengagement as in the present example an automatic Engaging takes place, including in the example shown an arrangement of Side teeth 14a and the teeth 13a of the driving screw 13 on after outwardly directed end of the gear 14 would be sufficient.
  • FIG. 4 Here is the adjusting device for controlling an internal, toothed rotary ring 31 used.
  • a rotational movement on the outer crown body 11 in the opposite Direction causes due to the blocking of the rotary ring 31 in this Direction of rotation by the detent spring 25 a latching of the clutch 13, 14, as in Figure 2 shown, so that the rotary ring 31 is not moved in this case. If there is a (pre-) given, increased external pressure on the outside Crown body 11 is finally an automatic, axial position switching the crown (see Figure 3), which is an increased tightness and an automatic Disengage, so that the rotary ring 31 (accidentally) turning the outer Crown body 11 is not adjusted, has the consequence.
  • Such a control device is therefore particularly in divers watches useful, since in this case an unintentional adjustment of the rotary ring for the Safety of the diver would be important and must be avoided.
